Probably the worst experience Iโ€™ve had at a salon. I was excited to find a salon near me and really wanted to love it. As soon as I sat on the stylistโ€™s chair I could tell she was rushing. She didnโ€™t introduce herself or nothing. I have very thick and long hair. She was cutting my hair and it was hurtingโ€ฆ that has never happened to me before. She also didnโ€™t wet my hair before cutting which made it extremely frizzy. Then after she was done and washed my hair to blow it out, she didnโ€™t even get all the shampoo out she squeezed my hair and there was suds comings off. Then she took 10 minutes to blow out my hair. I got bangs. I couldnโ€™t even see if the cut was good because she was rushing so much. I sat on the chair at 4pm and was out by 4:30. It takes me 40 minutes to dry my hair well. Iโ€™m so disappointed. This is how she let me walk out of that salon. I asked for bangs and face framing layers.

I chose Theory Collective based on reviews and was not disappointed. My hair was LONG overdue for some TLC since my last stylist left her salon and I was hesitant to find another. I wanted a cut with color and highlights. Riley gave life back to my hair and it looks and feels amazing. I will definitely be back.

You know that level of comfort you feel when you go to a good friends or familysโ€™ house & you can just immediately feel at home? Thatโ€™s the vibe they give off for me. Theyโ€™re so nice & welcoming- itโ€™s almost unreal. 11/10 staff. 12/10 experience- every. single. time. Shoutout to my girl Kenna- sheโ€™s so talented & has such a way with curly/wavy hair. Parking can be hit or miss onsite- but across the street parking isnโ€™t bad at all. Sunshineโ€™s good for the soul anyways. Go say hey, at the very least youโ€™ll be complimented 3x before you even leave (told you theyโ€™re nice).

The ONLY place I go for my hair! Normally I see Riley for my regular hair cut (she does an amazing job). At my last appointment I mentioned I had a wedding I was attending in a few weeks and wanted a blowout done. She said she wasnโ€™t working that Saturday, but, Madelyn was and set me up with her. Turns out, I was told the wrong time for the wedding and had to move up my appointment last minute or cancel. Madelyn was able to squeeze me in 2 hours early to do my hair. Came out perfect and she even left the curls a little tighter since the wedding wasnโ€™t for a couple hours so they wouldnโ€™t fall out immediately. Both girls are extremely attentive to what they do, and listen to the client. 10/10 service!

Such a girls girl salon! Everyone is so nice and welcoming and it has such a family atmosphere. Reagan is the absolute best, she knows exactly what to do with my hair even when i donโ€™t know how to describe what I want! She crushes the color every single time and itโ€™s such a joy to catch with her each time!!
